Use the Blue Water Filter with natural sunlight in shallowblue-green tropical fresh and salt water.
Colors underwater are not as vibrant as above water because of the filtering effect of natural light wavelengths by water. Warm colors such as red, orange, and yellow are diminished within a few meters under water and change dramatically as you go deeper. The Filters help the digital camera color correct for this effect and bring out the colors. There are computer progams that color correct images and video as an attempt to bring back the colors lost when not utilizing a filter. However, videos are difficult to manipulate after the video has been shot and a filter is highly recommended for video use.
The filter is essential for vivid colors for depths of just below the surface down to 24ft(8m). The filter should be removed for deeper dives and for dives utilizing external light sources. The filter is a wet mount and can be put on and taken off underwater. The Filter snaps onto the front lens for use and onto the large cap for storage.
